Summary
Paris hosted the first hands-on preview for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, giving players an early look at Konami’s first new series entry since 2014.
Evil Empire — the studio behind Dead Cells and its Return to Castlevania DLC — is developing the game, extending a franchise influence it had already adapted into modern indie action design.
The preview’s early verdict was strongly positive, with the game described as a worthy new 2D-style heir to Castlevania’s gothic action lineage.
Chapelle Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc, a deconsecrated Paris chapel turned event venue, framed the demo as France’s heat wave and a difficult Joan of Arc boss fight underscored the game’s atmosphere and challenge.
